Fans of Julie Kagawa’s Talon and Renee Ahdieh’s The Wrath and the Dawn
will devour this action-packed fantasy adventure about a girl who
chooses to surrender herself to a deadly dragon rather than marry an
enemy prince.

When two warring kingdoms unified against a
deadly menace laying waste to both their lands, they had to make a
choice: vow to marry their heirs to one another, or forfeit their lives
to the dragon.

Centuries later, everyone expects the sheltered
princess Sorrowlynn to choose the barbarian prince over the
fire-breathing beast - everyone, that is, except Sorrow, who is determined
to control her own destiny or die trying.

As she is lowered into
the dragon’s chamber, she assumes her life is over until Golmarr, the
young prince she just spurned, follows her with the hopes of being her
hero and slaying the dragon. But the dragon has a different plan. . . .

If
the dragon wins, it will be freed from the spell that has bound it to
the cave for centuries. If Sorrow or Golmarr vanquish the dragon, the
victor will gain its treasure and escape the cave beneath the mountain.
But what exactly is the dragon hiding?

There are no safe havens
for Sorrow or Golmarr - not even with each other - and the stakes couldn’t
be higher as they risk everything to protect their kingdom.

A girl who chooses a dragon over a prince? Yes please! An idiot prince who follows said princess into the dragon's lair? This ought to be fun! But overall, dragons...
